RE: IC-Chiptuning, I got an email from one of the local dealers and to tune my car it would be 2.8萬.
So the Group Buy thread of the local BMW forum is the best option at the moment.... The last GB ended
up costing members only 1.7萬.

Just some info I thought y'all would like to know.. heheheh

HEADS UP!

Heading south, on the 2nd Freeway right after LongTan ticket booths and just before the Guan-Xi rest area, there have been cops with lasers hiding in areas that normally don't have cars. They've been there for over a week every day -- I've gotten hit by lasers over 6 times recently but wasn't over the speed limit....I think.

Isn't that illegal? Since all speeding cameras have a public notice a few hundred meteres in front to warn people....

Yo Almighty JungleBoy!!! Nice to meet you. I'm located in Taipei actually.

About tickets, man, I tried to dispute one years back and learned to just 'shut up and pay up'! LOL

They will take your license and you have to fill out a ton of forms, appear at this and that... all during
that time you will be driving without a license... LOL
